Mata Hari's Last Dance by Michelle Moran
2.0
I have read every book Michelle Moran has published and I have given them all 4 and 5 Star ratings, she is one of my favourite authors so I was so excited to read Mata Hari's Last Dance but it was just so underwhelming.
The plot and characters lacked depth, I felt no connection to Mata Hari or any other characters. There was no relationship building or developments, just one or two pages of brief description another lover or friend and then they were gone from the story never to be heard of again and I just didn't care about them or when something happened because I barely knew these Characters or Mata Hari herself.
From reading the Authors Note at the end of the book I understand that Mata Hari did re invent herself and it is hard to know what was true about her life and what fake so there's not a lot to work with, but I almost wished Michelle Moran had spent the time writing another book on Ancient Egypt then writing this one.
Nevertheless, I look forward to reading whatever she writes next.
